Copyright © 2020 by Andrea Pippins. “… and your cousin Gigi, who gives big hugs.” “And boldness in your heart, like your grandma. As the starred Booklist review wrote, it’s a “paean to individuality, each child’s potential, and the power of leading by example.” The palette is bright, and given these eye-catching colors, as well as the book’s direct address to young children, perhaps we’ll see a board book version of the same book one day - for parents to share with toddlers. It’s a sweet story of a Black family and community - and the mother who looks to them as role models. The mother narrating the book sees some of the same qualities in her child, and in other instances wonders if her child will be like them. Jess finds beauty wherever she goes, and auntie loves adventure. The child’s brother is contemplative, observant. For instance, Daddy has “loving kindness” in his eyes. With pen and digitally colored illustrations in simple shapes and uncluttered spaces, the narrator speaks directly to her child: “My child, my little one, who will you be when you are grown?” From there, she thinks about and presents family members and friends and the traits each has that makes them special. Today, I’ve got some spreads from Andrea Pippins’s Who Will You Be?, released back in April by Schwartz & Wade, in which a parent wonders who her child will grow up to be.

Īt National Public Radio, Amal el-Mohtar extolled it as "a zippy, wonderful romp", lauding Clark's portrayal of "a successfully decolonized Middle-East and North Africa", and his use of " Arabic words where they should be in a sentence to denote emphasis without straying into empty exotic flourish".
